1. Introduction
Following the release of Part 1 of the Insurance Growth Report
2020, Part 2 looks at transaction trends by region.
Clyde & Co's Insurance Growth Report 2020 is split into
three parts.
As we discussed in Part 1, as we enter a new decade the outlook
for the insurance industry has never been more finely balanced. The
green shoots of market hardening that first emerged in 2018 appear
to have taken root in 2019. At the time that this report was put
together, the impact of the coronavirus outbreak was only just
starting to be felt.
It is against this backdrop that (re)insurance businesses around
the world have been seeking growth – looking to balance the
risks they face by pursuing the right opportunities to deliver the
right growth. M&A activity continued to be a crucial route to
growth for (re)insurance businesses in 2019.
